FOR WOMEN FOLK. Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Patience has a. hea.rt of stone. Love is youth's elixir, bat it doesn't care rheumatism. Henpeck thinks the Mormons are already sufficiently punished. Apply either muriatic or glacial acetic acid to warts. They will soon shrivel and drop off. Moles are harder to remove, but often lanar caustic, slightly moistened, will effect the required results. I Plieed lemon is an indispensable adjunct of the toilet table. It will, if used with reason, keep the skin white. If rubbed across the finder nails, it is almost as effective as mani- cure scissors in keeping down hangnail. To make the throat and neck plump, firm, and round, wash it well with cold water and rub with a coarse towel until the skin glows. A course of treatment highly recommended is the use of codrliver oil. rubbed into the akin well. Cocoa. butter, however, is much cleaner, and more pleasant. Everyone can take a tepid bath without in- jurious effects: not everyone can take a cold sponge hath or a hot bath with impunity. The safe rule to follow is to begin the daily bath with tepid water. Castile or olive oil soap, a. rough wash clcth, and plenty of fric- tion. After the bath rub and rub. and still :ub. with a Turkish towel of generous size. antil the skin is thoroughly dry, red, and tingling. It acts as a splendid tonic. Shrimps With Rice. Place two cupfuls of picked shrimps in a •aacepan with half an ounce of butter, and a little minced onion, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and cook. stir- ring all the time, until the mixture is brown. Add a little milk. boil up. and serve with a border of nicely boiled rice. Wakefield Pudding. Ingredients: Half pound stale bread, cut very thin, one pound apples, quarter pound sugar. Stew the fruit with the sugar till it is cooked. Put a layer of bread in a piedish; then a layer of fruit and juice; then bread. -ill all is in. Serve hot or cold. Custard sauce may be poured over it if liked. Cabbage a la Creme. Ingredients: One cabbage or any greens. one onion, one clove, half a tablespoonful of butter, twopennyworth of cream, seasoning. croutons of fried bread. Well wash the cab- bage or greens. Put it into fast-boiling salted water. Add the onion, peeled, with the clove stuck in it. Boil quickly till tender. Then remove the onion, and drain the cabbage well. Rub it through a wire sieve, or, if you have not that most useful article (cost of which is from fivepence upwards), mash it well with a. fork. Melt the butter in the saucepan. Put in the cabbage and stir well. Next add the cream gradually; mix and season carefully. Serre very hot piled in a hot dish. and garnish with neatly cut sippets of bread that have been fried a golden brown. The Servant Problem One sign of the deplorable state of the domestic service market is the fact that. whereas ten and twenty years ago the servant in search of a place advertised her want, wrote letters of application to mistresses, and undertook herself the journeying'necessary to bring about an interview, these approaches are now reversed. It is the mistress who advertises, it is the mistress who writes letters, it is the mistress who takes cabs. 4nd not the least trying part of this quest if the golden girl" is the physical strain entailed on ladies who frequently have to call on four or five girls in a day in the hope of obtaining the help they need. Many ladies are completely exhausted by this enforced tea-and-bathbtm tour through the suburbs.— From "The Quest of the Golden Girl" in T. P.'s Weekly." Striped Velvet. A good deal of striped and spotted velvet is used for afternoon reception gowns. In Paris there is a perfect rage for white crepe lie chine worn with sable, even in the day- time, but naturally only for very smart indoor festivities. Plain velvet frocks are perfectly eharming, and very exclusive folks are wear- ing emerald-green velvet with long stoles of marten and big picture hats of green beaver. Green in such fabrics cannot get very com- mon. though I fear this charming colour ia slightly on the wane. The coming colour is a dull claret red, almost a mulberry shade, which is very chic. and has already found its way into the world of millinery. I have seen hats m this shade of beaver trimmed with jhiffon and roses of many hues. or autumnal berries. After all, the best milliners keep one colour throughout a hat, using several tones. We no longer put bits of colour in startling contrast on our hats. There is a good deal of chenille being worn on millinery, mixed in all sorts of ways, some of it form- ing network decorations for the brims of nats and toques. —"Modes of the Moment," in ""Madame."
